From Homelessness to Home

Work with the Arlington Street People’s Assistance Network (A-SPAN)

Mr. James Ford is any army veteran who was born and raised in Arlington, Virginia. He’s a morning person and works as a day laborer. He’s a Florida Gators fan. He loves pork chops. His smile lights up a room. And until October 2015, he was homeless.

Mr. Ford’s is just one of hundreds of stories of resilience, determination and hope — stories of people moving from homelessness to homes in Arlington, and the organization that helps them get there: the Arlington Street People’s Assistance Network (A-SPAN).

We were honored to help A-SPAN tell their story for their annual Coming Home fundraising breakfast. Meet Mr. Ford and learn how A-SPAN is ending homelessness in Arlington.
